"When she (Queen of Sheba) discovered how wise he (King Solomon) was,
and how breathtaking the beauty of his palace,
and how wonderful the food at his tables,
and how many servants and aides he had,
and when she saw the spectacular uniforms
and his stewards in full regalia,
and saw the size of the men in his bodyguard,
she could scarcely believe it!"
~ 2 Chronicles 9:3 & 4 LB
 
Bible Commentary on these two verses:  God had promised that Israel would prosper if Solomon followed Him as David did. As long as Solomon remained loyal to God, God blessed Israel abundantly. God also honors His promises to us, and His Word guarantees include certain conditions. God's promises and blessings are guaranteed as long as we do not break our agreement with Him. If we do, the promises no longer apply and may even be used against us in judgment.
